'r' is the version I originally used myself (see reddit). But then you have to change the foldrs too, and quite possibly a lot of other functions

This is true, but these are merely alpha-renaming changes, so the only negative consequence is bikeshedding. I suggest we restrict the scope of this discussion to changing (at most) only list functions in the base package.

Just to throw some salt in the fire and open another can of beeswax, I usually use 'accum' for this things.
